I posted this over at Hawgleg.com, so I figured I might as well share it with ya'll too.

The bar, tables and backroom are modular/moveable to facilitate layout changes.

Tables are made using GW 40mm round bases glued to a wood block to the desired height.

I hope to add a piano, billiards table and faro table- once I can get'em built! :)

Yeah, nice use of the round bases! The cards and chips on the table are a nice touch!

My pal Lee did something similar, but he made his walls higher and put stairs and a balcony for added gaming area. Honestly, I don't think we ever fought up there, though.

To spice it up you can do a billiards table using round plastic pin heads for the balls. Lee also found some period prints online, then shrunk and printed them for instant art on the walls. Of course if you want to make it authentic there should be a lot of bullet holes, blood stains, and broken glass :wink:

Nice indeed!  Looks like you could cut the tension in the air with a knife... I think there might be a bar room brawl a brewin'! :lol:

Wow, that really looks terrific!  My gaming group got into the Old West for awhile, and my friend is a genius at building all sorts of things.  I will have to get him to finish off a building or two and put a picture up here.  Always good to see how other folks work things out.  

The idea for the pinhead billard balls is really good!  So many great ideas...so little time to put them all into play....
